Abstract
This study examined the reliability of raters' assessments of prospective teachers for admission to a teacher training college. A total of fifty-eight prospective teachers and 10 raters participated in the study. The raters gave their ratings according to five dimensions, namely general culture (GC), language (L), self-image (SI), hobbies (H) and attitude towards the teaching profession (ATTP) in two interviews (Interview 1 and Interview 2). The data were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U-test and Generalizability Theory. The results of the study show that there is no significant difference between the raters' ratings in each interview. The G coefficients were unacceptable for the GC and SI dimensions in Interview 1. In addition, the G coefficients were relatively low for the L, H, and ATTP dimensions in Interview 1 and all dimensions in Interview 2.
